WILMINGTON — The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition’s Yes2Health program will begin next week and run into early summer.
Yes2Health is a free 12-week program featuring weekly virtual meetings and educational programs, including walking, health, and wellness education. Registration is required and can be done by emailing Linda Lucas at llucas@debreastcancer.org.
Participants will receive digital course materials and video conferencing links to join the weekly virtual meet-ups. The groups will establish a nurturing, supportive, and safe environment for those struggling with health issues that put them at risk of developing breast cancer and/or other chronic illness, according to the coalition.
The Tuesday group will be held from May 12 to July 28. Sessions run from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The Friday group runs from May 15 to July 31. The program is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.
The target audience for the program is women and men age 40 and over at risk for breast cancer and/or cardiovascular disease with at least one of the following: hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, or a body mass index of 30 or above.
The Yes2Health program is made possible with support from the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, Mid-Del Foundation and the Delaware Division of Public Health’s Tobacco Prevention Community Contract. Funding for the Contract is provided by the Delaware Health Fund.
